Freedom House and the International Center for Journalists (ICJ) is launching a digital and interactive map to track the attacks on journalists and bloggers in Mexico. According to a report from ICJ more than 80 journalists have been killed in Mexico since 2005.

Periodistas en Riesgo, Journalists at Risk, is a crowdsourced map that allows people to report assaults anonymously.
